Attorney General Eric Holder is once again handcuffing the federal agents tasked with fighting terrorism. Reports indicate the Justice Department developed changes to racial profiling rules that will prohibit the FBI from using a number of factors – including religion – in pursuing criminals. These rules could apply to cases against Islamic extremists dedicated to destroying our way of life.

While there was no official announcement made following the meeting in which these amendments were reportedly made, an anonymous source close to Holder confirmed many details. Holder released a vague statement Wednesday evening indicating he had just met with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio to discuss “preventing crime while protecting civil rights and civil liberties.”

The shift is a huge step from incremental changes implemented by George W. Bush more than a decade ago. While that administration banned only the use of race, it did not prevent agents from using even that factor in national security investigations.

Holder’s latest move is sure to placate the radical leftists who demand law enforcement remain willfully blind to obvious indicators of potential terrorist activity. Despite the fact that an overwhelming percentage of terrorism in today’s world stems directly from militant Islam, too many Democrats prefer to ignore facts in a misaligned effort to spare the feelings of law-abiding Muslims.

As Illinois Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin claimed a few years ago, existing laws were “a license to profile American Muslims and Hispanic-Americans.”

Holder, proven to be as radical as any leftist demanding stricter profiling laws, was apparently happy to oblige. Still, some activists want even more unequivocal language ensuring these same new rules will apply to national security.

National Network for Arab American Advocacy Director Linda Sarsour called Holder’s announcement “irrelevant” if investigators are still able to consider religion in the fight against Islamic terror. The left’s absurd logic would remove the only common denominator among the vast majority of such attacks.

This administration is once again proving its desire to elevate political correctness above the safety of American citizens.

We need to do like Australia and Egypt, outlaw Islam all together. It seems like now that the only person that can be profiled is a white male. Strike male and make it just a white person since Bush stopped profiling by sex.

If non radical islamists don’t protest against their extremist brethren, then this proves that all islamists are nothing more than murdering animals. The faster islam is wiped off this earth, the better for all human society.

What is the Mission Statement for the Department of Justice: To enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; To ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; To provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; To seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and To ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. Holder makes a mockery of this mission statement every day.
The actions of Department of Justice (DOJ, the most thoroughly political and scrupulously biased Department in the nation’s history) under Holder are not just incompetent and slimy, they threaten the very rule of law in our nation. Congress make the laws, Holder was nominated to help enforce those laws. Rather than running his office as a servant to the American people with deep respect for the laws that he is supposed to enforce, holder runs the DOJ like the enforcement wing of a mafia organization. He acts as Obama’s personal attorney and hit man, doing whatever is necessary to protect him and ‘the family', even if it means unlawful acts. He doesn’t have a right to break the law; his job is to ensure rights of the people, not to strip them away. He is appointed to magnify the law against crime, he has instead repeatedly magnified crime against the law. America has seen a number of egregious and unlawful acts by the man who is supposed to serve as the main legal advisor to the United States government. Instead, holder uses his office as a weapon to push Obama’s radical, unconstitutional agenda and to punish those who disagree with Obama.
We have witnessed a refusal to prosecute Wall Street executives for the fraud that destroyed the economy. Also a refusal to prosecute Black Panthers for voter intimidation. Also a refusal to protect voting integrity by fighting against a fair voter ID system. We have seen the loss of life, including Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, with the gun running operation Fast and Furious. We have heard Holder state that “African-American students were disciplined more harshly and more frequently because of their race than similarly situated white students.”; that “muslims should not be profiled and should not cooperate with terrorist investigations because of their civil rights”; and that “citizenship to illegals is a ‘civil right’”. We have seen Holder protect the NSA. We have heard Holder committing perjury multiple times in front of Congress. We have seen Holder protect the outright bias of the IRS against conservative groups, which will never be corrected, thus giving strong support for disabolishing the entire $13 billion department with a fair tax that would only take 10 minutes to fill out. Holder, issued secret subpoenas to spy on members of the Press. The First Amendment doesn’t request the fed to respect it; it demands it, and thus he has trampled on the First Amendment and failed in his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. Because Holder has so egregiously violated the public trust, Obama should ask for his immediate resignation. If Obama does not, the message will be unmistakable: Obama believes he is above the Constitution and does not respect the role of a free press.”
These most recent illegal acts by Holder’s DOJ is so incredibly tyrannical and unconstitutional that should be the final straw for his removal from office! It is OUR responsibility to uphold the laws of our republic and hold our public servants to their oaths of office to uphold and defend the Constitution. He is permitting the DOJ to trample on the First Amendment and he has failed in his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. The very rule of law is at stake and the credibility of every law enforcement officer in the U.S. If our top law enforcement agency refuses to follow the law, there is no rule of law, and this is no longer America.

Holder is the Al Quida leader in America with Obuttholes help they will destroy America.He was a bum who arranged the Marc Rich pardon during Slick Willy the rapist running the country.This man should be jailed for his gun running to the cartels.
